Once you root this phone, you can install custom roms, right? I was wondering because the Galaxy S doesn't seem to have any custom roms.

Is it just because it's not a North American phone, or is it because there's some kind of hardware restriction, like the Milestone and Droid X?
[Captivate General] systoxity:
ive been hearing some pesky talk about encrypted drivers. Give it like 3-4 days and we'll see :P

I was going to give it a week or so to see what happens. Can't wait to get rid of my unlocked G1 though!
[Captivate General] sl8125:
Custom rom isn't out yet. Once phone is released the actual copy of the US version of the rom will be floating around and someone will get hold of it and start modding. We just found out it can be rooted with the Euro version. I give it little time and you should see ppl posting custom roms for it. You might even see a Froyo mod coming soon. I pray to God this is possible. Actually i wouldn't mind plain old vanilla version. Again praying.
[Captivate General] systoxity:
ps galaxy s has roms now, just not the u.s. version. The official u.s. release will change all that.

i wouldn't worry about.

Has anyone managed to get gameboid working on your captivate? (gameboid is a gameboy advance emulator in the market)

I can load my gba bios file fine, but once i load up a rom it crashes back to the main gameboid menu.

I know the program has the potential to work fine because i used to run it fine on my android hacked tilt2.

If anyone has a fix id appreciate if they posted it here. If i find something that works ill be sure and update this thread.

oo nice, id drop a message to the developer until more peeps get this phone in their hands.

[Desire General] Waza_Be:
(Hope you will understand my english because the thing I want to talk about is quite complicated to explain)

Hello, while reading all the topics name searching for a new ROM, I find that they are all written in different ways.

Sometimes Sense is written in the beginning of the title, sometimes at the end, sometimes in the Middle.

Sometimes the Froyo/Eclair parameter is written elsewhere or just beside

It's very hard to understand what is the ROM about.

Wouldn't it be a good idea to think about a way to write the topic so that we can understand everything in a single look.

Something like:

That's just an idea and an example, maybe some dev should think to that

parameter A = Sense or Vanilla

parameter B = Eclair,FroYo,Ginger,etc...

parameter C = base ROM ( if sense: the leak number, if Vanilla: Nexus FRF91 or AOSP, or CM 6, etc..)

Parameter D = if the Rom has been written from an other one: exemple: DJDroid RC1 based or VillainROM 3.2 based

etc....

Do you find that usefull or am I totally crazy?

Thank a lot for the feedback!
[Desire General] Waza_Be:
Just to clarify: I know they all do this, but maybe not in the same parameter order and that's so confusing.

My idea was just to write all infos in the same order to make the ROM understandable in one eye look.

I know when I dumped my Incredible for an EVO, I couldn't just transfer my APPBrain apps to the EVO; I am replacing my current EVO for a new one tomorrow, and I am wondering if I have to find/download all my apps again, or I can just re-sync the new phone once I put AppBrain on it..

Any Info will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Veritas06:
I sync my apps to AppBrain, then save that list to something like "Backup" to use after flashing a new ROM.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wase4711:
yeah, I printed out the list, and, I think I can just re-sync my new evo to Appbrain when I get it...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Veritas06:
Just make sure you backup the "Installed Apps" List. I read somewhere that simply syncing won't create the backup. As soon as you install AppBrain on the new EVO it will just list those apps as Installed, not the whole list (( Sorry if you knew that, just don't want you to lose them all ;) )).
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wase4711:
how and where do you "back them up" to?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Veritas06:
Go to 'My Apps' > Select: All > Add To List: Create New List > & name it whatever you like
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wase4711:
thanks man, I appreciate that!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] initial:
Short answer: no

The appbrain application list is tied to your login. When I switch roms I install appbrain again, login, and my installed apps list comes up. From there I install the application that are missing. Never had to create a backup list of any sort but it never hurts to do so.

I'm assuming you'll get the same effect when you get your new evo.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wase4711:
well, better to be safe than sorry, so I did a back up list just in case..thanks for your input!

Which Taskmanager/Task Killer/Task Cleaner App do you guys think is best all around?

I was using Advanced Task Killer, but I believe it was responsible for logging me out on my X10.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] ClintonH:
None, let the OS handle the tasks it's not Windows. ;) :D
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] piercewei:
Completely agree. I donnot use any type of task killer and the system is going quite well.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Thol:
You must use, because, on the start, ther many applications are launched unless you need, like maps, without kill, on the start the X10 have 120Mo of free RAM MEM, after some application used, there only 80Mo...

With a task killer, on the start, there 170 Mo, after some appli used, there 120/130 mo...

I use "Advanced Task Killer", it not free, and it is for advanced users (not really friendly user, and tachnical...)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] RodneyBR:
Really, I should try it without one for a while and see. I was under the impression that it really is required. Because some apps can take up a lot of memory. Or will the OS control it?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] tjex:
Don't run a task killer, it will drain the battery faster as some applications will have to restart.

Use an app switcher instead, it will show you the apps that are currently running as opposed to dormant.

The Android OS does a great job managing the apps on its own.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Keegan_P:
Systempanel, cause it's good for monitoring too.

[XPERIA X10 General] starskyh:
Hey guys,

This issue has been brought up in a few threads, but not properly discussed with a solution. Issue is as follows:

X10 + Gps Application = kick ass gps system with beautiful screen

Having the screen on drains the battery heaps, so I bought a in-car charger. The first one I bought was a crappy cheap one, so I replaced it with a good one that charges the phone properly.

THE ISSUE: After about 20 minutes driving, the combination of the display being on and the phone charging causes the phone to get quite hot (about 40 degrees C from my calculations). This triggers a feature in the phone to disable charging until the temperature reduces.

END RESULT: Overall, the battery drains even though the phone is plugged into power. It drains reasonable slow (about 40% for 2 hours driving) but is still frustrating.

POSSIBLE SOLUTION: I have not rooted my X10, but I was wondering if using the "setcpu" app to reduce the CPU speed to like 233Mhz or something once the temp goes above like 35 degrees may help. Could someone confirm or test for me?

INTERIM SOLUTION: If I really need the phone to charge, I just lock the screen while driving and listen to the voice commands. This results in the phone not overheating and charging whilst driving. If it helps, I use Sygic, Google Navigation and CoPilot, all with the same result of overheating.

It would be great if we could get to an acceptable resolution for this issue as this is a feature that I really want to be able to use often,

Thanks guys, look forward to the replie!

Starsky.
[XPERIA X10 General] starskyh:
Also, running the .20 firmware on a generic UK x10
[XPERIA X10 General] joel4149:
im on build .23 - rooted, i just drove about 4 hours with both Google Navigation & Motonav at the same time, had no problems at all!

im not using setcpu.

it might also get warm from the burning sun.... try placing it away from direct sunlight.
[XPERIA X10 General] starskyh:
Thanks for the reply Joel.

Im in Australia so its winter at the moment, no worries about the sun :)

I have the phone in cradle connected to the air vent, so I did at first think the hot air from that may be causing it to overheat, so I turned the vent off but it hasnt made a difference.

It seems to be a random amount of time before the phone gets too hot, some days it happens after a an hour, other days it happens after 10 minutes, not sure what causes it. I might try rooting the phone so I can get .23 firmware and see if that helps, thanks for the feedback.

Cheers.
[XPERIA X10 General] k0sun7eash3d:
Since you have it placed in front of the vent, the air conditioner blowing cold air on it should be able to keep the temperature down
[XPERIA X10 General] gpmg762:
You may want to check your car charger output.

If the output is very high, say 1A, your battery will get fully charged much faster, phone & temp will be much higher than say at 500mA.
[XPERIA X10 General] Deliximus:
you definitely do need to check your car charger. I have it plugged in with Navigation on (which leaves the screen on ) and it actually GAINS battery charge. Looking at about 1% every 5 minutes.
[XPERIA X10 General] spets:
I have same problem. Need charging while using navigation but it gets too hot. Will try to mount in front of airblower. Did not have this problem with x1.
[XPERIA X10 General] Mac_33:
I have the same issue here. The phone heats up quite a bit when using Google navigation and it being plugged in to charge. I'm not sure if this is normal.
[XPERIA X10 General] mtechfan:
Using Google uses both the GPS and Data functions and might be the reason why the phone gets warm. It works harder!

I use IGO 8 and have no overheating issues whatsoever. I am rooted and use SetCPU (using the default "on demand" option).

My battery lasts a very long time anyways, but charging during use it does not cause overheating.

BTW OP! On most cars, even if you have a individual vent closed. If the heating is on to the rest of the vents, that vent will still radiate heat as warm air is blown into the back of the vent fins and they will heat up. Put your hand over this and feel it to confirm. I use a windshield mount and the phone is in direct sunlight a lot of times.
[XPERIA X10 General] starskyh:
thanks for all your replies.....

quick question, those of you who have said they are able to keep the screen on and charge at the same time...which charger are you using, the official SE one?

If not, can you post a link to where you bought it?

Cheers.

Go to the market and download an app that requires root. If it works, then you have root.

If you have a custom recovery installed for your captivate, go to the market and download quick boot. Once installed, go into quick boot and select recovery. That should boot your phone into your custom recovery. If that works, then you are rooted.

ls (This displays all apps on the phone.)

To delete ATT Maps:

rm attmaps20-1094.apk

Now when I try to run the RM I get a permission denied error??????

I was thinking of removing these:

attmaps20-1094.apk <<-- ATT Maps

MediaHub.apk <<-- Samsung Media Hub

MobiTV_800x480_320_20100610_1.0.0.15-118829.apk <<--ATT MobiTV

ATT_Radio_2.1.07.apk <<--ATT Radio

ATTNav-Samsung-Vega-1488.apk <<-- ATT Navigation

Didn't see ATT Music or anything like that but that would've given me a good start.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] hobolooter:
Haven't found any good solid information on my problem so hopefully someone who has some advice can assist and others in my situation won't have trouble finding help.

My HTC Fuze was working fine with a decent charge and I went out and didn't use it again until the next morning. I woke up and it was completely dead. Wouldn't turn on or do anything even after battery pulled. I left the battery out and waited overnight; then charged it up.

It now turned on and got to the home screen (sweet...) except that it immediately rebooted and continued this loop of getting to the home screen and then rebooting.

I'm now in this cycle loop where it just keeps going... so I figured hard reset time, except that holding the bottom volume and enter and hitting the soft reset button, nothing happens at all. So I'm asking now what can I do. I've opened the phone to manually press in the soft reset while trying the hard reset and its still not working.

HTC reboot loops are common and there's tons of information on them, however, I haven't found a solution to this problem. Maybe there is no solution? :-/

I'm using one of the NATF series 5 roms on the device and its been fine for over a year.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Edit: I was able to hard reset now the damn thing is reboot cycling the "preparing phone for first use" screen. Looks like the phone gets 30 seconds and then just kills itself. This is driving me insane :(

From what I understand Google will not let anyone release 2.2 until N1 has it for a while. HTC has no control over it. It is google's way of keeping the N1 atop of the phone ladder. The same will happen with the next version. Its google's game, we have to play by their rules.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neodorian:
Well, not entirely. When Google is finished testing on their "standard" hardware (in this case, the Nexus One) they will designate a final version. Then, HTC needs to get hold of this final version and add support for any unique hardware or software that their devices have. Think of it like release candidates and RTM versions of Windows. PC manufacturers get hold of the release candidates and test versions so that they can develop drivers and make sure their devices all work with the new OS. Then they get the final version, tweak what needs to be tweaked, run it through bug testing, and then pass it along.

In this case, HTC has to get the final version, make sure all of their apps and drivers work, make sure it works on their phones, and then pass it to Sprint for *more* testing to make sure it plays nice with the network and performs well.

So you guys that came form ATT and T-moble chose the X over the Galaxy S phones. May I ask why?
[Droid X General] Roland Deschain:
Still no release date announced for Galaxy S on Verizon. (VZ name: Fascinate)

I was anxious to get a new phone. If the Fascinate comes out before it has been 30 days on my Droid X, I might very well return it and get the Galaxy S. I kind of want the Galaxy S more than the Droid X, but there are a couple of things I'm a bit OCD about. One is the hardware buttons; I REALLY dislike soft touch buttons, which is what the Galaxy S has, whereas the Droid X has hardware buttons. I discovered one other thing I like a lot about the Droid X after I bought it, too; the GPS chip in it is insanely powerful for a cell phone. It triangulates like instantly and is very fast and up-to-date. I was quite surprised when I tested it earlier today, it worked amazingly well. I'm still mad at Motorola about the whole root/bootloader thing, but if you take that out of the equation, it's a hell of a phone.
